For purposes of desei'ipfiomjthe bodyi'ifiot matempmyd i'nfthethreads', or strehdtes e'f i;

I F'g. -1, the exten-sible and reinforedect'es' a sat [3 and 14 and these ed gi' tportions are clearly disclosed in the two different net fabriee I which I have illustrated in Figsi 2 and 3-, m

In Fig'sflz and"3,I have shown "one type bf net.

sulting product a cap-like contoufwhih wifdfild extensible strands, the strand I9 is shown in the enlarged detailed view of Fig. 3. In this figure, I have shown at 20, the reinforcing bobbin strand which extends ,alon g'the normal scalloped-like edge portion2| of the fabric and then takes two spaced turns around the strand l9, as at 22 and 23, at each of the protruding portions of the scalloped edge 2|, or at side portions of each diamond of the mesh, for example, the diamonds 24, 25 and 26, as shown in Fig. 3. V,

The other strand 21 of the mesh will be a conventional strand, or in other words, a strand simi lar to the strand or threads used in constructing. I

the body l8 of the fabric. With this construction, itwill be apparent that the extensible strand is securely bound in with the edge portion of the mesh or net body or the peripheral edges thereof so that in the eventof a breakage in the extensible strand, thespreading of the broken end portions will be checked at least within the enviroment of three orfour' of the diamonds, this being accomplished by the snug engagement of the reinforcing strand turns.22 -23,' with the extensible strand and the piling-up or gathering of the turns 22.---23, somewhatin the manner illustrated in connection with Fig. 6 of the drawing.

In Fig. 6, breakage is' checked Within and between adjacent diamonds of the mesh body, but the checking in Fig. 3 will be spread over approximately three'fof the diamonds. In other words, if a bre'akoccurs adjacent thediamond 25, the extensible strand ends l9 will be checked adjacent the diamonds 24-46. The checking as noted in connection with Fig. 3 of the drawing will still render the hair net useable' and Will not materially interfere with the elasticity at'the edge portion of the hair net." The structure described with respect to one edge portion, in which the extensible strand I9 is arranged, will be the same at the other edge portion incorporating the extensible.

strand 19'. "It isalsdhere to be noted that in addition to accomplishing the results above named, the weaving-in of the extensible strands in the manner defined also retains these strands against displacement relativelyto the edge portions of the strip, as at l and prior to the tying of the ends in producing'the result shown at H and [2. It will also beapparent that the reinforcing strand 20 also reinforces the entire side edge porti'onslof thest'ripjl5 or the peripheral edge portions of the resulting net, as at 1'3 and I4, in Fig. l of the drawing.

In Figs. 4 to 6 inclusive,'I have shown another adaptation of my invention in which the extensible "strands are entirely incorporated in conjunction with the edge portions of the net or the mesh strip from which the'net is formed. In Fig. 4, 28 represents the mesh strip substantially similar to the strip and having extensible and reinforced edge portions 29-29, the body portion 30 of the strip comprising anet fabric substantially similar to the diamond mesh shown in Fig. 2. The strip 28 includes end portions 3| and 32 adapted to be tied together, in forming knots, as in H and 12 in Fig. 1 of the drawing.

In Fig. 5, I have shown in enlarged detail and somewhat diagrammatically, a portion of one edge of the strip 28, for example,the edge 23. In this figure-I have shownat 33-34 and 35, a part of three of the normal diamond meshes of the body 30 at the edge portion 29, with a lastex or other extensible strand 36 woven by a bobbin thread 31 along the entire outer edges of the diamond meshes 33-34 and 35, and this will continue throughout the full length of the edge portion 29 of the strip 28, as well as the edge portion 23. The other or warp strand 38, at the edge portion in question, extends along the edge 29 and has no direct looping contact with the strand 36.

The strand 31 may in some instances constitute the same bobbin strand as is used in forming the diamond mesh of the strip, in that its complete envelopment with the extensible strand 36 will tend to reinforce the edges of the strip 28. On the other hand, the strand 3'! may constitute a reinforcing strand, being stronger or of a different texture than 'the bobbin strands of the net fabric, in thesame manner as in utilizing the reinforcing strand 26, as shown in Fig. 3, excepting that instead of simply taking two turns at spaced intervals around an extensible strand IS, the strand 3'! takes many turns around the strand 39 throughout the full length of the outer and normal scalloped edge of the strip. It will be understood that the extensibility of the strip or strand 36 tends to straighten out this scalloped edging in a manner diagrammatically illustrated in Fig. 5. As a matter of fact, under tension, this edge would be substantially straight, although the looping of the strand 3'! is performed around the extensible strand 36 when the latter is in at least a partially extended position. This is also iiiuej in'pas sing'theloops 22, 23 around the strand In Fig. 6 of the drawin I have indicated a break in the extensible strand 36, occuring within the environment of the diamond mesh 34. In the event of such'a break, the ends 36 and 36" of the strand 36' will spread apart, but this spreading movement will bechecked by the gathered turns of the thread of strand 3?,as at 31 and 37", thus leaving the remainder of the edge of the net free for extension and contraction in the use of the net. The gathering of the thread or strand, as at 31' and 31" forms a secure anchorage or tying of the strand ends 35' and 36", holding said ends in position at least when subjected to normal stresses and strains of extension of the strand 36 in the use of the hair net. With this construction, severed breaks could occur at the edge portions of the net without materially interfering with the useful properties of the net. i

It will also appear that by looping the bobbin thread 31 around the-extensible strand 36, when the latter is in extended position, this looping will not interfere with the normal extension ofthe edge portions of the net. On the other hand, the maintenance of the extensible strand in the environment of the entire edge portions of the netproduces a well reinforced edge and; this reinforcement is amplified as and when stronger threadsdesire to secure byLetters arranged along said boundary edges, said mesh body being composed of warp and bobbin strands, and said boundary edges including bobbin strands having reinforcing characteristics looped around said'extensible strands a pluralityof times at each scallop of the edge portions in whatr supporting said extensible strands at the boundary edges of said net.

2. In a hair net, a mesh body having boundary edges defined by looped strands, extensible strands arranged along the looped strands at said boundary edges, the mesh body comprising interwoven bobbin and Warp strands, and bobbin strands at said boundary edges having reinforcing characteristics and being interwoven with the extensible strands and said looped strands in pairs of multiple turns engaging each loop at boundary edges and spaced throughout the length of said extensible strands on said boundary edges.

3. In a hair net, a mesh body having boundary edges defined by looped strands, extensible strands arranged along the looped strands at said boundary edges, the mesh body comprising interwoven bobbin and Warp strands, bobbin strands at said boundary edges having reinforcing characteristics and being interwoven with the extensible strands and said looped strands in pairs of multiple turns engaging each loop at boundary edges and spaced throughout the length of said extensible strands on said boundary edges, and the pairs of turns of said last named bobbin strands being adapted to check spreading of severed ends of said extensible strands.
